Leptochilus chilangensis (V.N. Tu) Liang Zhang & Li Bing Zhang View in CoL , comb. nov.

Basionym: Colysis chilangensis V.N. Tu (1980: 582) View in CoL .

Type:— VIETNAM. Lang Son Province: Chi Lang district, 14 September 1964, Quy 72 ( HN).

Notes:—This species is similar to Leptochilus dissimilialatus ( Bonaparte 1923: 155) Liang Zhang & Li Bing Zhang in having pinnatifid fertile leaves, but differs from the latter in having smaller habit and simple sterile leaves with entire margins. This fern is endemic to karst regions of northern Vietnam.

The species was not sampled in our molecular phylogeny of Leptochilus ( Zhang et al., 2018) and it is recognized here based on the morphology. The elliptic and deeply pinnatifid fertile leaves support it as a member of the L. ellipticus clade.
